     @nixCraft Cube by compiz. Not only old one users, because it is still very much present and available in lots of distributions. Even KDE actually has it, but in a little different form. As same as another very popular feature - "wobbly windows" effects.

     @nixCraft Yes, I remember that effect, but didn't really use multiple desktops back then. But the wobbly windows were fun :D

     @nixCraft I can only remember back then average users didn't even use workspaces.
